Uh, then why is he getting trounced? Missouri has swung red in last 10 years or so, and any candidate who can generate a run-of-the-mill conservative campaign would have a good chance at getting elected. Akin can't do that, because he's batshit crazy...so he's going to lose. On Sun, Oct 14, 2012

Hopefully. But Akin is on the House Science and Technology Committee, along with that other GOP Genius, Georgia Rep. Paul Broun (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/82108.html). No wonder this nation's dominance in science and tech are starting to decline. On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 11:51

There is a difference Sam, not your false equivalence. Byrd repeatedly recanted his actions then, by both word and deed. Neither of these two have done so, in fact they've reveled in their willing ignorance. On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 12:19 PM, Sam sammyc...@gmail.com wrote: That's akin to
